The final order for the sale of the
Northwestern Manufacturing and Car
company's property and assets was filed
with the clerk of the district court for
Washington county yesterday after

ions OF the order have been already
stated, the only unsettled points being
the exact date of sale, the name of the
referee, who is to have charge of the
sale, and the bank in which the earnest
money is to be deposited. The court
fixes the 27th day of October, 1887, as the
day of sale, which is to be at auction, to
the highest bidder, at the count house in
this city, the least bid to be received be-
ing S1,000,000. The referee is to be Hon.
w. G. WillistOn, of Red Wing, and the
banks of deposit are the First National

Judge McCluer also filed an order yes
terday denying the motions of III. II.
Porter and r. Il. Cable to allow E. S.
Brown, receiver of the car company, to
be a party in suit brought by Porter
and Cable in the United States circuit
court against Hon. d. M. Sabin and J.
G. OGOrman, as officers of the car COM
pany, for
MAUI AMI MALI EASANCE IN f,
and to except from sale all claims arts
ing out of such suits. In reciting the
application for such order, the court
points to the fact that a few days prior
to 1t an order directing the receiver to
bring such suit had been denied by him,
and says that for over two years all par
ties interested have had access to ali the
books and papers of the concern, and
that for over seven months, while the
suit just closed has been pending in
court, they have had ample opportunity
to bring up all claims of miSmanage-
ment and to introduce testimony re-
garding them; that all parties have
agreed to the sale and that the affairs
up; that the action prayed for would
operate to delay the object sought, and
that it is therefore denied.
The action of the court is hailed by
citizens generally with unbounded sat
iSfactiOn, and, now that the last kick
has been made, they hope for speedy
settlement of this great estate, and that
it will be very soon placed on sure
footing.
WHAT SENATOR SABIN THINKS.

and, abiding to the order of the court
just made public, said that so far as the

valuable property in court and worry
it out by an endless litigation, and that
Porter was only after the revenge
which he has said he would spend half
of his fortune to get and cared nothing
for the rights of creditors or the fate of
the car cOmpany-eXcept to wreck it be-
yOnd redemption. What their next
move will be-" he remarked, II am I'M
able to say. but we are prepared for any
measure they may undertake The
creditors OF the car company, who are
mainly represented in the new thresher
company, are on hand ready and will
ing to either buy the assets and. by
cure their claims, or they stand
ready to make MIR. Porter, or
any one else who wants to buy,
pay what the concern is worth. There
is no justice OF right in the 'dog-in-the-
manger act which he is playing-de-
termined to destroy if he cannot con-
